#FSF announces the #LibrePhone project, and, shockingly, it's a joke. While the intention to reverse engineer proprietary firmware is applaudable, going with Android for this and thus interfacing with the downstream kernel is a waste of time.

What good is software freedom when you're still relying on the goodwill and development of a big tech company.

#Android is dead in the water and it's time people caring about software freedom and privacy realize this.

this is hilarious

Unihertz Jelly Pro N (unihertz-nanot) porting update.

Found UART!!!! tx and rx are right next to each other. (tx is 2, rx is 1). The lk also seems to be a debug version, so *tons* of logging! Sadly, because of the positioning of the points, it is *really* hard to solder onto them...

Thanks to @mrkrckn for finding the points. They are on the screen-facing side of the board, so that's super amazing (not).

you run neural models on GPUs or some sort of modern fixed function hardware.

i run neural models on the PS1 geometry transformation engine.

we are not the same.

*Hacker noise*

Spreading for awareness.

htop has been ported to Redox OS! I'm using it to identify performance bottlenecks.

it's real: first MNT Quasar processor module prototype, assembled today by @theawesomerandomness! this will allow the usage of qualcomm qcs6490 and hopefully two other pin compatibles in current and future MNT open hardware laptops/computers.

GitHub continues war against own users.

Next: Remove support for standard 2FA/TOPT protocol, and introduce weekly expiry for <s>passwords</s> API tokens.

In bizarre move, Framework embraces deeply extremist views

Framework, the maker of repairable laptops, is embroiled in a controversy, as the company and its CEO are openly supporting people with, well, questionable views.

If you know a little bit about PR in social media space, you might note that, right out of the gate, a project by a vocal white nationalist known for spli

I was recently looking at Framework for a new x86 laptop, as I believed the company to be reasonably aligned with my values (e.g. pro-repair, pro-FOSS, pro-humanity). But others have warned me that they are now supporting Hyprland, Omarchy, etc. They support these projects led by people who hold alt-right views, in the name of building a “big tent” coalition.

The problem, however, is that building a “big tent” coalition, by design, requires some form of value alignment.

Alpine is a “big tent”, for example, but people who want to harm members of our community aren’t welcome.

This isn’t hard.

Needless to say, I won’t be buying a Framework laptop anytime soon, which makes me sad.

I feel like randomly promoting a really amazing Free Software project:

Yes. Invidious is a self-hosted YouTube frontend. It provides a web interface for you to search/watch YouTube videos.

You can run it yourself, or use a public instance.

I installed *my own* private instance, on my network. It's working great.

Your browser won't run all the YouTube bloat. Invidious still has to run Youtube's challenge.

Really, really great project. Way better than YouTube Premium.
